Looking for the name of a german film

Hi, 

I'm hoping someone in this comm might be able to help me?   Several years ago I saw a movie (am 98% it was German).   I can't remember the title for the life of me, but the plot was:

Man has a history of being fairly crap to women.
Man dies.
Man is given 3 days to find a woman who loves him or he's going to hell.
Man is 'assisted' in this search by his sardonic mother-in-law, who has been reincarnated as a goose (go figure!)
Man has no luck with the women from his past, including his wayward daughter (who seems to be on the verge of becoming a prostitute?).  They all hate him.
Man encounters a quiet, lonely woman (I think she's a vet?  She certainly is involved with animals), and bullies her into helping him.   Over the days she falls in love with him, but he is horrible to her. 
She goes off to commit suicide, but at the last moment he stops her.
Cue the lovely, happy ending for man, woman, daughter and goose.


If anyone has any vague idea of the title of this film, I'd be much appreciated.  I would love to track this down to see if it was as hilarious as I remember (despite the freaky plot it was definitely a comedy).

Thanks in advance.
